Warning for continued lemon, sexual references, explicit content, language, and violence. One more thing, Inuyasha does not belong to me…: (

Oh and another warning for Ooc' ness

He slid his hand over her breast taking her nipple between his fingers. She gasped aloud. He said he wanted to help her dress, but his help was making her want to undress more and more. "Are we going back to the cave or not Sesshomaru?" she asked clutching the sleeves of her kimono. "I would prefer if we didn't, but I'm sure Jaken is having a fit already." Sesshomaru said pulling on his hakama. "Well…if you say so." Kagura sighed tying her obi around her waist. They finished dressing slowly "helping" each other dress with an occasional caress or a flick of a tongue.

They flew back on her feather quickly to make up for the loss of time and landed at the mouth of the cave. Jaken tapped his foot impatiently and then jumped up high in the air. "Welcome back milord, have you found a plot of l…" he stopped in mid sentence. Even with his meager sense of smell he could easily recognize this scent. They were covered in the scent of sex. "Land." He said his temple twitching and tears threatening to spill over. "Lord Sesshomaru has mated that…that incarnation of Naraku! This cannot be, he has ruined his pure bloodline…well besides Inuyasha." He thought. "Oh and what if she becomes pregnant!?" he thought his buggy eyes going wider, if so much was even possible.

Lord Sesshomaru interrupted his train of thought. "We shall all move to the clearing we found immediately." He said. Rin smiled happily. "Gladly, my lord." She said happily. Rin and Jaken climbed upon the back of Ah-Uhn and they took of to they're camp.

They landed among the clearing and Jaken almost burst into tears once more. There was a deep body shaped indent in the middle of the clearing grass. "Jaken-sama what is the matter?" Rin asked. "Nothing…nothing at all." He choked out. "Rin, Jaken, gather wood for a fire." He said coolly. "Aye, me Lord." Jaken said regaining his composure. Kagura went to the edge of the clearing were there were trees and began to pick mushrooms from the bark.

Soon there was a crackling of a fire, mushrooms, and fish cooking over it. Rin warmed her hands, licking her lips waiting for the food to cook. "is it ready master Jaken?" she asked. "Not quite." He said crossing his little arms. He was impatient and hungry too. Rin sighed impatiently. Kagura sniffed the air, it smelled delicious. Jaken pulled the skewers out of the ground and handed one to everyone besides Sesshomaru, he didn't like cooked food.

The night was un-eventful.. They ate there dinner in peace, Sesshomaru perched in his tree, and Kagura watered Ah-Uhn. One head munched on leaves while the other drank in big gulps from the stream. Darkness soon fell over they're camp and everyone set in for bed. Sesshomaru watched over the camp his hand resting on the hilt of tokijin. Rin was snuggled into a blanket next to Jaken who was snoring softly. Kagura dozed near the fire, which had become a lightly flickering pile of embers. Sesshomaru smirked as an idea popped into his head. He licked his lips a predatory look glazing his eyes.

He leapt silently from his branch to the ground were Kagura was lying. Her eyes flicked open and she smiled softly, her fangs peeking from behind her lips. He brought a finger to his lips and turning his head to Rin and Jaken. She nodded beginning to untie the belt that held her kimono shut. He reached out and took her hand. "Let me." He whispered one of his fangs scraping the shell of her ear.

He bared his fangs, working intricately on the elaborate knots with his teeth. He ran a finger between the folds of her kimono parting them. She shivered softly at the sudden breeze. He lowered his mouth to her neck kissing and nipping. She moaned softly, her head lolling back. Sesshomaru worked his way down kissing her everywhere. He gently slid a finger into her, eliciting a stifled moan. "You must be silent or you will wake them." He whispered to her.

Jaken's lower lip trembled. "He's pleasuring her, only feet away from Rin and I!" He thought to himself. "She's nude!" he thought angrily to himself. "I will never be able to look Lord Sesshomaru in the eyes again!" He turned over so his back was facing them trying to erase the images of the two of them.

He pumped in and out of her rapidly massaging her little clit. Her eyes were shut tight, and she reached out taking fistfuls of his silken haori. "Take me." She gasped. "Please, take me." she writhed against him. He removed his finger from her and slid his pants down his legs. He parted her knees and slid into her. She sighed softly, wrapping her legs around his waist. Her teeth were clenched together to silence her cries of passion. They rocked their hips back and forth in a rhythmic motion. He grunted as her muscles clamped around him as she released.

They couldn't help but to breathe deeply. She sat up closing her kimono and kissed him delicately on the cheek. She smiled deviantly. "Shhh…be still." She warned as he pulled on his kimono. He froze lifting his nose to the air searching for what she sensed. While his collarbone was bared, she sunk her fangs into the pale flesh. He hissed, eyes going ruby red "Drink it." He growled, bracing her shoulders as the pleasure of pain enticed him. Blood dribbled down his chest. She ran her tongue down after them, chasing each drop. He was completely gone; his demon blood had taken over him, yearning for the feral need of passion and sex.

He grasped her shoulders hard, and lifted her. He sank his teeth into her milky flesh. Kagura gasped; their wounds matched, bloody and swollen. He cared not that he was acting nothing of himself. He sucked at the puncture marks, leaving behind a dark bruise. She slid down on the blankets, tired and satisfied. Sesshomaru sunk down next to her not caring of his comrades but feet away. She was his now and the mating ceremony was done, their vows un-breakable.

The next morning Kagura rose early to bathe in a stream about a quarter mile away. She dunked her head under water and sprang to the surface. The water was chilled, but the thought of the night before brought a heat to her skin that balanced the two. Her face blushed a rosy pink. She rose from the water and climbed to the bank, wringing the water from her hair. She wrapped a towel around herself running her fingers through her hair. She began to dress humming to herself.

Sesshomaru rose and leapt to his tree, pretending as if he had been there the whole time. Rin sat up stretching with a yawn. "Good morning everyone." She said happily. Jaken sat up hazily; he didn't get much sleep last night. Jaken looked up to see his master perched peacefully in the tree overhead. "Lord Sesshomaru, may I go to the spring with Ah-Uhn to bathe?" she asked sweetly. "Yes Rin, you may go." He said opening his eyes and looking to the sky. Rin ran to Ah-Uhn and pulled on the reins. "Come on Ah-Uhn, lets go!" she skipped merrily beside the large dragon. Jaken snoozed by the fire as Kagura re-built the pile of ash and partially burned wood. Sesshomaru jumped down from his tree. "A hoard of demons are approaching." He declared his hand poised on the handle of his faithful sword, Tokijin.

Hundreds of demons soared overhead; Jaken stood holding the staff of heads. Kagura at ready her fan partially open. A large grey demon with leathery black wings lunged from the sky at Sesshomaru. With hardly any effort Sesshomaru sliced through the demon. But to his surprise a black smoke poured from the demons remains. It burned his nose and throat. He covered his nose and mouth. "D-Dance of The drag…" Kagura yelled before she fell back her knees giving way to her weight. Sesshomaru dropped to his knees coughing; one breath was all it had taken to paralyze him. He fell forward, face down in the dirt…

"Milord!" Jaken squealed. He was un affected by the smoke. A demon eagle flew down from the sky, its golden talons at ready. It swooped taking Kagura with him. "What do I do?" Jaken asked running in circles. "Oh no, what am I to do?" In his panicked state he ran right into a tree. "Rin, I need to get Rin!" he thought. "Rin!" he squealed as loud as he could running as fast as his little legs would take him.

Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kiarara all trudged along when they heard rustling from the bushes nearby. Jaken rolled out of them looking rather ruffled and disgruntled. "Please, you are my only hope!" he sobbed. "Milord has been attacked, maybe even dead!" he groveled at Inuyasha's feet. "You mean Sesshomaru, my brother Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked skeptically. "Yes, yes please come, help me!" the poor imp was bawling. "I won't believe it until I see it." Inuyasha said looking down at the imp. "Where is that cold hearted bastard brother of mine?" he asked cynical. "The Lord is not far from here." Jaken said pleadingly. "Oh please do hurry!"

Jaken explained what had happened on the way to their clearing. Sesshomaru lay still in the clearing. Inuyasha approached and kneeled down, turning his brother so he was lying on his back. "You dragged me here for this, he's unconscious is all." He said in an aggravated tone. "Are you sure, he looks dead to me." Shippo said kicking him with his small paw. Sesshomaru's eyes twitched and he groaned. Shippo yelped and climbed up the side of Inuyasha's pants to the top of his head. "Don't let him get me!" he cried cowering. Sesshomaru awakened a crowd of people around him. "Inuyasha!" he thought. He sat up quickly climbing to his feet. "Lord Sesshomaru thank goodness your alright!" Jaken squealed. Rin smiled happily. "We were very worried my Lord." She said. "Jaken, why did you contact Inuyasha?" he asked looking down at the imp. Jaken knew that look…that was a look that made shivers run down his spine. "Well to be honest, I thought you were dead." He said twiddling his thumbs looking down at the ground.

"Not a mere demon such as that could kill this Lord Sesshomaru." He declared. "We must go as soon as possible." Sesshomaru said motioning for Rin and Jaken to mount Ah-Uhn. "Were are you going in such a hurry?" Inuyasha asked his arms crossed. Sesshomaru took to the sky. "To rescue my mate." And with that he took off, Ah-Uhn trailing behind.

Inuyasha looked dumbfounded at Kagome. "But…to mate don't you have to have sex?" Kagome whispered into his ear. Inuyasha just stared at her. "I always just assumed that he was such a prick that he would never find someone "worthy" of him." Inuyasha mocked, "I wonder who the lucky girl is." Kagome asked sarcastically. "What's mating" Shippo asked from his perch on his shoulder. "Why let me explain." Said the monk. "NO!" they all yelled at him. "Shippo is still innocent, which is hard enough to believe with you around!" Kagome yelled. Miroku looked solemn. "I have no idea what you mean." He said crossing his arms. "This place smells of Naraku, if we follow Sesshomaru we should find Naraku!" Inuyasha concluded. But he didn't know what he was really smelling was Kagura…"Lets go!" he yelled. Kagome on his back he jumped into the air, Sango and Miroku upon Kiarara's back.

Sesshomaru could smell her, she wasn't that far away. He knew this would probably be a trap. He had let her fall into harm and now he was going to get her back. This is where she would be, but it was just an empty clearing. Sesshomaru knew better. This was Naraku's barrier. Inuyasha soon caught up and with his red tetsuiga in tow he blew apart the barrier in a single blow. There were so many buildings…which one could she be in? He couldn't smell anything besides Naraku and the miasma that surrounded him. A voice boomed around them. "I see you have come for her, Sesshomaru, you two must be very close." he said with a deep sickening laugh. "She is in one of these buildings, there are fifty to choose from and in each one awaits a…surprise." Said Naraku. "I am waiting in the right one…Good luck."

Sesshomaru did not like being messed with. Inuyasha and his friends ran up beside him. "Leave, this is my battle," he said coldly drawing Tokijin. "It is ours, Naraku has done us all harm in one way or another!" Inuyasha said angrily. "Will both of you quit bickering, this is what Naraku wants, to distract us so we can't find him. "Kagome said loudly. "The only way we can find him in this maze is to work together. "This Sesshomaru works alone." He said coolly. "Why don't I just blow the whole place apart with my wind scar?" Inuyasha asked holding up tetsuiga. "No." Sesshomaru said quickly. "Why not?" he asked heatedly. "Just, no." he said walking towards the closest shrine. Kagome leaned towards Inuyasha. "Think about it, you might kill or hurt his mate." She whispered. "I don't give a rat's ass if I kill his youkai whore." He said "WIND SC…" Inuyasha didn't get to finish. Sesshomaru grabbed tetsuiga from him and threw it away from him. One hand around his throat, the claws of his other hand poised for attack, glowing a sickly green. "I will kill you here and know, if you try that again." He said icily. His eyes were streaked with bloody red. Inuyasha knew that he meant it and wouldn't hesitate to do so either. He dropped Inuyasha to his feet, straightening himself. "Miroku and I will take the shrines on the left. Kagome, Inuyasha take the ones on the right." Sango said taking charge. She held her hirokotsu close, her mask tied around her face. "Lets go."

Sango and Miroku ran into the first cabin…it was empty. They knew something was up and stayed together, making their way to the back of the shrine. Soon they were walking in complete darkness. Sango turned red enough to light the room when she felt something soft work its way up her thigh and touch her. You pervert!" she screamed. Hitting Miroku with the giant boomerang. "I didn't do anything Sango, I swear! And I can prove it too!" he said placing both hands gently onto her shoulders. The touching continued. "Then what's touching me!?" she screamed leaping up, slicing through the air with her concealed sword. "Sacred sutra!" he shouted pulling something from the folds of his robes. The cavern filled with soft white light.

A tentacle had been wrapping its way up Sango's leg without her noticing. One shot up and grabbed Miroku by the wrist. Another grabbed Sango around the neck. He stabbed at them with his golden staff. Sango slashed through them wildly with her blade. There were so many! "Ahhh!" she screamed as they began to pull her downward, constricting her. Wrapping around her throat. She sputtered for air. She felt something hot slam against her neck. It was a sutra, melting away the vine like tentacles. "Get behind me!" Miroku yelled. "WIND TUNNEL!" the tentacles seemed to go on forever as they were pulled into the endless void that was his hand. Soon the hall was barren and empty. "Thank you Miroku." She gasped resting against his shoulder.

Things were going a little better for Inuyasha and Kagome. In their shrine they had only found a bird demon and with one attack it had dissolved from Inuyasha's iron reaver soul stealer. Sesshomaru had come upon a room filled with a hazy fog. It smelled of flowers and made his drowsy. The door slammed shut behind. With one flick of his poison whip one of the shrines walls dissolved allowing him to breathe once again. A small girl sat at the back of the room. She looked harmless sitting with her legs crossed. She looked as though she were praying. Her eyes flashed open. They were a brilliant blue and a wicked smile came across her face. "You have avoided my poison…but not me…" it whispered in a rasp. "I don't have time for petty demons such as you." He said. Sesshomaru raised the whip once again. "Do I not remind you of your comrade, the girl that loves you so, I believe her name was Rin." She said giggling softly. "No you do not!" he said the whip lashing. A barrier transcended around her. "You cannot kill me that easily. She split into two, then four, and then eight and so on. "So which one of me is real?" they all asked. "You know time is running out for her, the one you came to save, for every hour it takes for you to find her one more time she will be tortured in anyway her creator chooses." she said smiling brightly. This girl rubbed him the wrong way, since her barrier had to drop for so many more to fit into the shrine; whichever one was her was exposed. He drew Tokijin quickly. "Dragon strike!" he yelled. She let out a shrill cry as it washed over her and her copies. Then she and the shrine were gone.

In the dungeon bellow one of the shrines Kagura cried silent tears. His unrelenting grip on her heart was almost too much. She couldn't scream, she couldn't even breathe. "This is repayment for what happened last time." Naraku said bitterly. "Your torture has yet to have even begun." He whispered into her elfin ear. Just as she was about to lose consciousness his grip released and she could breath once more. Her chest heaved as she lay on the cold stone floor. She didn't have the strength to move. Her lungs had felt like they were on fire. Shackles appeared around her wrists and ankles. Warmth washed over her, it was so inviting. She blacked out and lay motionless upon the floor. "That is enough for now." He thought, her heart disappearing from his hand.

They worked through shrine after shrine. Some were difficult and some were not so much. There was a range from harmless sprites to viscous demons. Finally they all met up when only three shrines remained. They were panting sweat clinging to their skin, the adrenaline rushing, and blood pumping loudly in their ears. They were battered and bruised, Inuyasha sporting a gash above his eye, Miroku looked as though he had a limp, Kagome had a welt across her arm where her blouse had been torn, and even Sesshomaru's arm was bleeding from a strike of a dragon demon. "Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. "Do you know which one Naraku is in?" she asked. Inuyasha paused. "He resides in the middle shrine." Sesshomaru said cutting in. "Lets go." Inuyasha said raising his sword into the air. "No, it is my mate that has been taken, therefore it is my battle to fight." Sesshomaru declared stepping forth. "Not a chance!" Inuyasha barked. "We have waited too damn long to pass this up!" he yelled his fists clenched. "Will you two stop it, we are wasting valuable time!" Kagome interjected once again, their arguing seemed feudal.

They entered the shrine weapons poised to attack. The room was dimly lit, candles flickering softly in the background. Two metal doors shot open revealing an ominously dark passage. They entered paying careful attention to the sounds around them. They heard nothing but the crunch of dirt and pebbles beneath their feet. They heard a muffled scream and something being dragged away "Sango!" Miroku cried whipping around. "We must go back and get her!" Kagome cried. "No. Inuyasha said, we have come to far to go back now…" he said dismally. "She would want us to go on, and avenge her family's death." He said softly. "But…"Kagome stuttered. "No buts." Inuyasha said grimly. "We must continue onward." and that was what they did.

Slowly they were picked off one by one until only Inuyasha and Sesshomaru remained. "I have a bad feeling about this." Inuyasha said darkly. "We have been walking for a long time." He said. "I know you have wanted to kill me for the past few hundred years but this is it, this is where we take out Naraku, this is the end.." he said staring his elder brother straight into his eyes. "We need to work together to kill him." He declared. "We?" Sesshomaru stated his eyes glowing a soft gold in the darkness. "Who said I would be willing to accept your offer?" he asked bluntly. "Because I know you value your life." Inuyasha said wiping sweat from his brow. Sesshomaru considered this for a moment. He thought of Kagura, wondering what pain she had already suffered through. "You have yourself a deal little brother." Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha looked shocked but kept his mouth shut. "He must really love this woman to work with me in order to save her." He thought to himself. They continued walking until they came to a light at the end of the tunnel. They must have been a mile under ground; it was just so cold and foreboding. They walked into the light ready to fight. It was a large room, almost like a coliseum. It was lit softly with candles and oil lamps. "Welcome." Boomed a voice. "You are finally here." It stated mockingly. "Show yourself Naraku, you coward!" Inuyasha yelled waving the tetsuiga in the air. "Now be patient Inuyasha, you have passed my tests and we shall soon do battle." Naraku's voice said. The lights flickered and before them appeared Naraku in his baboon pelt. Tentacles shot up from under the suit in all directions. Sesshomaru jumped into the air slashing them away only for them to quickly re-accumulate together and form more tentacles.

Miasma was in a purple haze surrounding them, engulfing them in its whole. It burned their eyes and noses, but each of them kept fighting. They were formidable opponents with the strength of the wind scar and the dragon strike. The way they fought leaping, dodging, and sidestepping it looked almost as though they were doing an elaborate dance. The battle raged, parts of Naraku's body littering the dusty dirt floor and soon clustered around their legs binding them together. Inuyasha thrashed breaking free and continuing onward. It seemed feudal, endless, like the battle would never cease.

When one of Naraku's appendages tried to throw aside Tokijin Sesshomaru realized that his poison fumes and whip didn't n mix well with Naraku's miasma and it completely dissolved bits of his body. If he did this to all of Naraku, he wouldn't be able to regroup…and with the power of the wind scar and his poison spray, they would kill Naraku…

"Inuyasha use the wind scar!" he ordered. "Now!" Inuyasha had no objection at harming Naraku. As the winds scraped together forming the fissure that was the wind scar, Sesshomaru sprayed as much poison as his body cold muster. The toxic spray was sent everywhere, melting pieces of the stone that the walls were made of, and burning through the one being that fueled their hatred. He let out an un-earthly cry as he dissolved under the pressure of the wind scar and his body destroyed from the acidity in the sickly green poison…

They stood there simply staring at each other. They had done it. Once they had put aside they're differences and worked together they were capable of killing Naraku. They both panted. "This is finished." Inuyasha said aloud resting against a wall. "This isn't over." Said Sesshomaru. "There is still the matter of my mate." He reminded him. Without saying anything more Sesshomaru rushed towards the back of the room where another tunnel awaited him. As he flew through the corridors he met several flights of stairs, sending him spiraling further and further down into the earth. When he came to a large wooden door braced with iron, it was so cold he could see his breath.

He air smelled of the unmistakable odor of death. He pushed open the door with one arm and he felt more of the putrid air wash over him.

There she lay, in the kimono he had gotten her, though battered, bruised, and unconscious. She was alive. He melted the shackles that held her in place and scooped her up into his arms. Her skin was as cold as ice. It brought back the memories of the night she had gone missing in the freezing rain. He remembered the jade bracelet that he had found. He still had it in the lining of his sleeve. "When she wakes I should give it to her." He thought walking back towards the wooden door. He could feel something against his skin that he had never felt before, her heart beat.

Inuyasha had found all of his friends outside of the last shrine. They were all outside trying to get back in. The doors had slammed shut behind them and they were simply forced to wait. They all watched as Sesshomaru came through the doors cradling Kagura in his arms. They gawked at each other in surprise. "Her?" Inuyasha thought. "Good bye, Inuyasha.' He said taking to the air to soon meet with his comrades.

"What was that about?" Sango asked. "Why did he say good bye to you?" she asked. He went on to tell them what had happened, how they ended up working together and conquering Naraku. "But we still need to find Kohaku and Naraku's jewel shards. "You mean these?" Inuyasha asked holding up a nearly complete jewel. Kagome gasped and smiled a huge grin. The others watched in amazement. Inuyasha reached out and took the small bottle of shards Kagome held. He emptied the contents into his palm. They began to glow and fused together with the nearly complete jewel. There were only a few more bits missing…

Back in the clearing where Rin and Jaken had been ordered to wait Sesshomaru returned with Kagura, just as he swore to himself he would. Rin and Jaken ran up to him. Before they could say anything he interjected. "Naraku…is dead." Kagura stirred in his arms. "Oh.." she groaned her eyes adjusting to the light. "My heart!" she gasped her hand flying to the inner lining of her kimono. She could feel her heart beating in her chest. It was a wondrous feeling, instead of the emptiness that had once filled her being because of that one missing piece. "Is Naraku gone?" she asked. Her eyes the size saucers, full of hope and wonder sparkling brightly within them. "Am I finally free?" she asked. "Naraku has perished." He said looking down at her. She looked like she was glowing, radiating peace and happiness. Tears welled in her eyes as she took handfuls of his silken haori and held him close. "Thank you so much." She whispered. He had frozen. He relaxed into her embrace putting a hand on the small of her back. She leaned up towards his lips. He cleared his throat loudly, reminding her of his retainers watching them intently. She blushed red sitting down.

"Lord Sesshomaru, what do we do now that Naraku has been defeated?" Jaken asked while tending a fire for the night. "I believe we should travel to the Western Lands and rest in the castle." He said resting upon a lower branch; he was truly exhausted from so much battle and use of his poison. It took a great toll and stressed his body very much to conjure so much poison as to kill Naraku. He would definably sleep tonight. Kagura slept already, skipping dinner and going right to sleep.

Once all was quite and everyone slept. Sesshomaru went to Kagura and watched her as she slept. He took the bracelet he had in his sleeve and slid it onto her small wrist. She awoke, smiling groggily up at him. "I love you Sesshomaru." She whispered. He blinked. She had never said that before except for when they had made love for the first time. He looked down at her thoughtfully and kissed her gently on the lips. "I love you too." He said brushing a strand of hair from her face. "I never knew you had a palace." She said

To him. "You shall like it there." He said to her. "It is a magnificent place." He said standing. "Wait." She said reaching out to him. "What is it?" he asked. "May I sleep with you?" she asked looking rather hopeful. "I suppose." He said. He knelt down and took her into his strong arms. He leapt up to a branch in the tree in a single bound. She took in a breath. It had surprised her, and left adrenaline pumping through her veins.

He situated her onto his lap so she was leaning back against his chest. Her head rested at his shoulder and his arms wrapped around her waist loosely so she would feel safe. And that was how they slept through the night. Early in the morning just after the sun had risen. Ah-Uhn's saddlebags were packed and breakfast eaten. They set out towards The Western lands where Lord Sesshomaru ruled.

Yes, yes I know it was mushy and gushy and out of character. But I couldn't help it. It is very hard to be in character in this kind of fan fiction and also I'm sorry that it took so long for me to post it. I simply had writers block and a severe case of JPL. (Just plain laziness)
